The Blue Mountain of Jamaican Coffee is one of the rarest, scarcest and expensive coffees in the world. Our long-term relationship with our suppliers enables us to import these beans. Let's see what makes JBM so unique.

The Blue Mountains of Jamaica are generally located between the south of Kingston and Port Antonio. At 7500 feet high, they are the highest mountains in the Caribbean.

Our current crop comes from RSW Estates, a company that gets coffee from three different farms: Sherwood Forest,Whitfield Hall and Resource Coffee Farm. All the coffee is processed in the 200-year-old coffee factory Sherwood Coffee Works.

JBM is produced on the slopes of the mountains, so it is very difficult to grow. Therefore, the beans of Jamaican coffee are carefully selected, which makes it a very labor-intensive process.

JBM is very expensive. Simple economics helps us to understand why.

Every bean in Jamaican coffee has been tested manually.

It takes twice as much coffee as any other coffee to mature.

Jamaica produces 14 million pounds of coffee a year. By comparison, Ethiopia produces 800 million pounds!

RSW Estates produces only 60000 pounds a year.

80 per cent of JBM is shipped to Japan. The rest of the world gets 20%!

The key to the great blue mountains of Jamaica

The same day the coffee was harvested

100% wet treatment

100% sun-dried, the moisture content in beans is 11.5%.

Store beans in controlled storage for 8 weeks

Shelling and sorting beans to order

Sorting beans by hand

Speed is not essential. Great coffee production takes time.

A group of local women hand-sorted each mung bean in a 10-pound bag. The color classifier does not fully detect minor insect damage or debris, so these women are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Each batch is first delivered by an advanced sorter and then by the factory manager.

The last piece of the puzzle is Jamaican coffee. To use beans as rare and unique as JBM, you must take time and roast it correctly. Our noodles are light, with a sweet creamy smooth taste. You definitely don't need to mix this coffee with milk or sugar. It's delicious in itself.
